To the Voters of Union County: The time has come, the age is here ! and everything is ripe for a change in some of the laws in this State, too . numerous to mention. The time has ; come when we want to send from this county a set of Representatives that are representative business .men (no ! allusion to present delegation). We don't want a representative lawyer, a representative doctor or a represent- ( ative professional man just because l. ? i 1 * nt- to it jjruicssioiiai man. nut we want a representative self-made busi- ; ness man to represent Union county ; in the legislature. We want fewer j laws and better enforcement of laws; 1 and to get this, my dear voters, vote for self-made representative business ( men who will go to the legislature and make laws from a business standpoint, and not a political standpoint, , and when you do that we will have fewer laws, better laws and laws bet- < ter enforced. There is one law on the j statute books that I heir to call vonr attention to, that I look upon as a farce and a mock of civilization. This law referred to is the concealed 1 weapon law of this State. This law < was mostly enacted by the lawyers of ; the legislature; why? Because it 1 creates litigation; which gives money 1 to the lawyers of this State. i That one law principally runs the courts. That law takes from many a man his life. It takes freedom from j a .man. It puts up any man's life as ; a target for the concealed weapon law to shoot at . This law robs the women and children of their loved ones; it makes many sad homes, many vacant chairs and fills many graves, i It costs the taxpayers of this State j dollars upon dollars "just by being i broken by people principally that are 1 not taxpayers only to a small extent. Now I want to suggest a remedy ] for this cause ,and beg of you voters of this county to come to a cross and 1 support a delegation for the legisla- ] ture that will try and get the remedy suggested passed as a law. The remedy I want is as follows: i First to repeal the present concealed < weapon law, and all that pertains to i same. Second, enact a weapon law, or a j pistol law, giving any man a right to carry a pistol by paying a license to ( do so, a yearly license tax. And .... s_ *u:~ u:n UVII V IIUTC ailjr |il VVIOIUUS 111 tllld Ulll | cither, exonerating sheriffs, deputies, i police or any other officers. Let this law apply to everybody alike. Make the license $20.00 a year; $10.00 of said license to go to public , schools; $10.00 to good roads. By \ having a law of this kind, we will cut ] out that class of people from carrying ] pistols not for a protection but for carrying same to violate the law; and who run the courts at the expense of the taxpayers ,who, a majority, never see a pistol only in the pos session of otfcer people. You take this county and Newberry county, as 1 I am familiar with them, and you investiate the crime of both and you will see that the Courts are principally i run by negro pistol "toters", who pay $1.00 poll, at the expense of the white taxpayers. I for one, want , this cut out, and will promise my assistance to remedy this evil. To the candidates for the Legislature: How do you stand along this line? Come out and express yourselves right here as to this law being changed. I don't want to put you all in an embarrassing position on the stump when the campaign opens, but we voters are going to fight for tlfb enafttffent of . this law, and want to know just how you stand'before we send you to the legislature. I have another law T want remedied in this county. I Will let you hear from me again before the campaign opens. Respectfully, \ B. S. Hardy. r t ' 1 ' of Pa REGINNIP :t week will b Parasols ever ; take advantaj lins in other g :bai JUDGE SEASE SEVERELY ARRAIGNS WALLACE WHITLOCK The solicitor agreeing to a fine of $100, Wallace Whitlock Monday afternoon pleaded guilty to the charge of assault. Whitlock became involved in a aimcuity witn Thomas Tarpley, a railroad man ,at Spartanburg Junction some time ago and struck Tarpley in the head twice with the butt end of a pistol. The man was badly hurt. Samuel J. Nicholls was attorney for Whitlock and induced the solicitor to agree to a fine of $100 on condition that Mr. Whitlock plead guilty. Judge Sease then sentenced the defendant. This was one of the .most severe arraignments ever heard in a Spartanburg court. The judge told the defendant that if the prosecuting officer for the state had not agreed on a fine of $100 and if the jury had found him guilty, he would certainly have had to serve a sentence on the chaingang. Judge Sease told Whitlock that he was a very undesirable citizen and that, if rumors be true, and he had every reason to believe they were true, that he (Whitlock) conducted one of the worst joints in Spartanburg county, and it was a breeding place for vice. The judge warned him if he ever appeared be fore him or before any other court that he would get the limit of the law. The denunciation was in severe terms and Whitlock smarted under his arraignment. He then wrote out a check for $100 and sheepishly left the court room.? Spartanburg Journal. Why Farmers Keep Moving to Town. It is a fact that the farmer keeps moving to the city. The landlord already lives there, and the reason why the tenant moves so often from place to place and to the city, is because the landlord has no sufficient and economic dwelling places on the farm. In the city he has Ins water run in the house and all the conveniences human wishes?and good houses to uve in. But on the farm he has to live in an old lop: hut which the rain and snow drives him from corner to corner, and work hard all day and carry water up and down a steep hill, about a half mile, winter and summer. Carrying cows from place to place, eating up the truck as they break loose; he loses enough time going down to a long distant spring several times a day, in the course of one year, to pay for a well in the yard. Why don't the landlord build good houses for his tenants and have decent barns and cow pastures running up to the lot, and have a well put in his yard? So the tenant can enjoy himself on the farm. If, the landlord would make a convenenient and economical place for his tenant, the tenant would enjoy living on his land and taking the utmost care of it. And the landlord instead of hunting hands for his place, the hands would be hunting him. Mr. Landlord, until you make it more enjoyable, more convenient on the farm for the tenant, you will never get a good hand to stay on your farm more than a year at the time You can hear the cry?"I can't get a good hand on my place." The reason is, you have no houses and convenient places on the farm. Mr. Landlord, treat your tenant as yourself. Ask him not to live in a house or on an inconvenient larm on wnicn you would not stay. There are some tenants living in houses that the landlord would not stay all night in in the winter. Mr. Landlord is that fair? J. G. Pruitt, Jr. ? Pauline, S. C. Dr. Henry M. Holmes of Spartanburg was a visitor in Union this week. Mi 3.
